Alena Shirmanova-Kostebelova known by her stage name Aiko who represented the Czech Republic in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 made a stop off at Dublin’s The Academy 2 as part of her Aikonic tour.
Treat all in attendance to a fantastic 17 song set-list.
Opening the night was Dublin/London artist Pastiche, who brought a brand new formula to the stage, after taking a little time out Pastiche is back with a more guitar sound than previous times and judging by the nights performance she is taking no prisoners this time around.
